Furthermore, Coach Enfield was asked about conditions or requirements James needs to fulfill before he is allowed to participate in the game on Sunday. To which he replied, “Well, I think it’ll be a determination, how he feels personally and our doctors and trainers and our strength coach. But all indication is he feels great and he looks good.”
However, further in the conversation Coach Enfield also expressed that James will be playing under minutes restriction for now, as they want to see how it goes, and based on his performance during those minutes, the medical professionals will decide what’s next.
